This morning we woke up early, grabbed a cup of coffee, jumped in the car with Jonathan McHugh and Captain Adam and headed over to the marina to share in a day of sailing. We were pleasantly surprised by the meeting of our friend Gary Krantz who we haven’t seen since back in our NYC days. It was quite a reunion. It turns out that Jonathan and Gary have been friends for years and recently found out about the connection with us. Small world!

After a long bus ride that departed at 2am, we arrived in Peekskill, New York at 9 am. and found where catering had breakfast ready for us. The Paramount is a beautiful old theater in the heart of historic old Peekskill center….

We walked around this idyllic upstate New York town on a beautiful late summer day.. There was a farmers market and lots of cute shops and cafes. It was so nice to see a thriving small town with small businesses thriving and no big multinational corporations destroying the character and lifeblood of the community.

Kitchener: …Italian dinner at 271 West Restaurant: Very coincidentally, shortly after we sat down for dinner, the Gipsy Kings music came on the sound system. Now if that's not a sign that were at the right restaurant I don't know what is. The waiter had no idea that the GKs were in town. He told us that his dad plays the GKs playlist at the end of every evening to energize people and start closing down the restaurant. Small world huh?
